But he was also concerned with an all-encompassing view of the world based on psychology. I have already drawn your attention to the fact that Franz Brentano himself estimated that his work on psychology would fill five volumes, but only the first volume was published. It is fully understandable to someone who knew him well why no subsequent volumes appeared. The deeper reason lies in the fact that Brentano would not—indeed according to his whole disposition, he could not—turn to spiritual science. Yet in order to find answers to the questions facing him after the completion of the first volume of his *Psychology* he needed spiritual knowledge. But spiritual science he could not accept and, as he was above all an honest man, he abandoned writing the subsequent volumes. The venture came to a full stop and thus remains a fragment.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Franz Brentano's Struggle: Truth, Goodness, and Spiritual Science","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Psychologe, Seelenforscher, wurde Franz Brentano hauptsächlich; aber von der Seelenkunde aus beschäftigte er sich mit den umfassendsten Weltanschauungen. Nun habe ich Sie ja darauf aufmerksam gemacht, daß von der ganzen Seelenkunde, von der ganzen «Psychologie» des Franz Brentano, die auf vier oder fünf Bände berechnet war, nur der erste Band erschienen ist. Und wer Franz Brentano genau kennt, der kann durchaus verstehen, warum die folgenden Bände nicht erschienen sind. Brentano wollte eben nicht, konnte sich seiner ganzen Veranlagung nach nicht zur Geisteswissenschaft wenden. Hätte er aber diejenigen Fragen, die sich ihm nach dem ersten Bande der «Seelenkunde» aufgeworfen haben, beantworten wollen, so hätte er Geisteswissenschaft gebraucht. Die konnte er nicht finden. Als ehrlicher Mann unterließ er daher die Abfassung der folgenden Bände; es blieb beim ersten Bande.
